Basic posting rules
These forums are meant for people or animal species of any age, sex, or religion. They are meant to be informative and fun, so please do NOT use bad language or anything else that may offend anyone else. NOTE that using special characters to 'disguise' swear words is not acceptable. Just think of a diffferent word. Same goes for any images you post, or any sites you link to - have a look round any linked sites before you post to make sure there's nothing 'dodgy' on those either. Any post containing stuff we feel isn't suitable will be edited or deleted. Repeat offenders will also be deleted, and I hate that so do me a favour and behave!

Topics that are best avoided
We would like to ask Forum and Teamspeak users to NOT get into serious 'real world' debates here, e.g. posts relating to politics or religion. While we appreciate that these are generally well intentioned, and can relate to important issues, we find they can also create some tension. We want to keep these forums, Teamspeak and our server as fun places to be - somewhere to escape from real world tensions and just relax.

Use of images, Avatars, and Signatures
Please read this BEFORE posting images in the Forums. Also check your Avatar and sig against these limits and fix them if necessary. If any of these are too big or hosted in the wrong place they will distort the Forums or make them run very slow. This fouls things up for all forum users. Image sizes: max width of posted images is 510 pixels. Length is not so important. Sigs: max width 510 pixels, max height 150 pixels. Max file size: 100KB Avatars: max width 120 pixels, max height 150 pixels. Max file size: 75KB Hosting: Do NOT use images hosted in photobucket or imageshack. They can cause horrendous lag. If you need your sig or Avatar hosted we will do it. It's dead easy to resize images using Irfanview - a free program, quick and easy to download and use. Open up your Avatar or image in this, go to 'Images' and Resize ... takes a few seconds. Upload the new image from your User CP or post as normal. IrfanView is a very fast, small, compact and FREE graphic viewer for Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003. Download it at http://www.irfanview.com/ If you do use images or Avatars that are too big we'll have to delete them because they will distort the forums.
